well.. what happened to the amazing design posted in the Sun newspaper that everyone agreed looked amazing over breakfast that morning? this is the total opposite, in fact it looks like theve gone out of the way to make it as boring looking as possible, couldnt think of anything they could subtract apart from the pictures ! oh and apparantly the seats which is a relief to all of us.

Does anyone know what the olympic statium will be used for after the games have finished? no -one wants to be left with another useless structure like the millenium dome!

I took your advice and watched the Video. Very nice, but it only puts a pretty image on a simple design.
Most have seen the previous designs for the stadium when we did the bid for the olympics, that was amazing.

And i’m not saying that the Olympics won’t be a great experience for everyone, but i think that being one of the wealthiest countries in the world we should be able to create something special for the greatest sporting event there is.

“how many workers are going to die from building that thing. Or even better, how many are getting paid to build it, period.”

-This is a pointless comment. probably none are going to die. And anyway we’re not building ours in China we’re building it in England! So no-one will die and everyone will get paid!

Oh, and i’m not sitting in a cafe in Ny or Boston. I work for an architectural company in London and i live near the site, period.

I think this stadium is pretty brilliant. It’s great to go to design blogs and read the reviews, and check out public blogs and hear the reviews. Two totally different perspectives, indeed. I would suggest going to the 2012 post, watch the video, and read others perceptions. You know, like from the people who are actually getting it. Not the ones sitting in a cafe in NY and Boston.

“China have ‘The Nest’ which is an amazing design (at a cost of around £200million) and ours just looks boring with a bit of scaffolding on top of it.”

–My comment to this would be how many workers are going to die from building that thing. Or even better, how many are even getting paid to build it, period.

The 55,000 seats are to be ripped out when arsenal play millwall.

i tell you what… the politicians and organizers overinflated what GB would achieve with the games… making bold statements that mistakes in Athens and other places would not be repeated and these would be the greatest games ever… in my country there’s a say ” by the mouth dies the fish” i think this is just the tip of the huge white elephant… forget about the roof and the greenest games ever… this has proved quite intertaining.
